In this episode, A'ndre chats with Commander Todd Greene (USN), Master Instructor at the U.S. Naval Academy, on his recent capability pitch The Night Train -- an efficient, survivable, inexpensive connector to transport TEU containers, akin to a submersible truck. CDR Greene talks about this unmanned expeditionary logistics concept, and how it aims to address the 'Iron Triangle' of tradeoffs in the contested logistics space. We discuss how we can apply a 'ride-share' model to the Night Train's utilization, and how the designs of shipping containers play to the advantage of the Night Train.
